•  Support Good and unusual. Although I can't help seeing it like the crab is trying to escape becomming part of the boiling bouillabaisse below. Or maybe I'm just too fond of seafood... ;) --cart-Talk 10:22, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose too blurred for me and it does not show the crab at all well. This image shows how colorful the crab actually is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlesjsharp (talk • contribs) Poco² 13:31, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

  @Charlesjsharp: : With "blurred" you refer to the crab?. To me it looks crispy apart from the eye in the back (out of focus) and a leg which was probably moving, but I don't believe that we can talk about too much blur.

  Yes the moving crab and the stationary rock. 1/250 sec. works to blur the sea nicely, but doesn't make the Sally Lightfoot crab crisp enough. And I'm not sure why we would want to feature a picture of the boring backside of one of the most colourful crabs in the world. Charles (talk) 16:48, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

  Furthermore, I don't see any issue with colors here. These crabs are colorful in the front, as it could be seen in this related FP, in this case I'm showing the back. Poco² 14:23, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

  My impression, Charles, is that you may be evaluating this picture from a strict encyclopedic point of view. My purpose here was not to depict the crab in the best possible way to illustrate an article in Wikipedia, as I could have looked for in the the other image but rather a peculiar situation in the fauna world with an acceptable quality and composition.

•  Support - I haven't been sure I liked this photo since it was nominated, but I looked at it again and like the composition at full-page size. Looking at most of the bokeh sandy water at full size isn't advisable, but it serves a good purpose at smaller sizes. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:41, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
